Luke Halpin

You have to be of a certain age to remember Flipper I guess. I really wish I had not come across a recent photo of Luke Halpin, the actor who played Sandy in Flipper. I can't remember if I liked him or the actor who played his father the most. Either would have done.

Doing some quick mental arithmetic James, I wouldn't have thought much older.

Puzzling me Jayne. Not Ben Cartwright?

It must have run for a good while Peter, as pictures I saw have him as quite young and then also quite a bit older. Porter Ricks, that was his name. I wish I had a Daddy like Porter. I am happy for people I know to age, just not my young lust objects.

Age comes to us all if we are lucky - I recently met an old school friend and her sister - hadn't seen them for 25 years. My sister veronica said later how much they have aged - my response is that they would have been saying the same about us - no doubt - we all think others age,,,

I DARE you to approve an print this, else you are not being fair.For Heaven's sake...you insult both the late Brian Kelly, and Luke Halpin of my state of Fl. NEITHER are gay, ever were, so stick to your own.

Andrew - my experience tells me the world sometimes appears full of people who are insulted or outraged on behalf of others, with absolutely no knowledge of the people involved and what they think/believe. Blog comments that include CAPITAL LETTERS also tend to be a bit of a worry.

Hey guys,For me it was nice to see he still had his hair and didn't blow up like a jelly fish. I also was so happy to see he still has that spark in his eyes. Sure maybe he had that/did that but, wait he still does because he still has a great heart and I'm sure is happy to age knowing at least the "lusters" won't Chase him anymore. To me he's #1 in my book ;)

Oh he was the first ever and the only one i can remember, that took shirt off in evrery episode,,the storys were great,,a talented actor , great location shots, i was 5 when the last show aired, the last season he left at eighteen , i started knowing the atractition when i was 19., in re runs, he was still young, im so glad theres site with evrery.photo taken of him with each part of his body, someone recognize he was the first and the only one ever to.be filmed like that, god bless , what sweet kid,

My public diary, not my private one. I live in a highrise apartment building in inner Melbourne. My interests are varied but top of the list are old buildings, history and public transport. You will find plenty of personal experiences to read in my blog too. Just be aware I am not an historian, amateur or otherwise. While I make some effort to be accurate, I don't do proper methodical research so I advise you check all details on your own behalf should you wish to quote me. Your comments are very welcome, but try to be nice to my fragile yet overblown ego. I enjoy receiving email. You can find my eddress in my complete profile.
